An oasis in the middle of Basel with a historic ambience.

Information

Description

The cozy café with a beautiful terrace in the quiet inner courtyard of the Bürgerliches Waisenhaus offers daily changing lunch menus, homemade soups, quiches, salads as well as coffee and cake (also everything to take away).

With its historic ambience and a successful mix of old and modern, the café invites you to linger.

The café is a meeting place for young and old and offers various catering options. Every day between 11.45 am and 1.30 pm we offer a reasonably priced menu of the day, which is freshly prepared in our canteen kitchen.

The café offers a total of 20 seats in the comfortably furnished former chapter room. Additional seats can be found at small bistro tables or on the sofa in a relaxed and quiet atmosphere in the adjoining sacristy. In summer, the tables in the cool cloister and the outdoor seating in the beautiful inner courtyard are also served.

The connection with the everyday life and mission of the Bürgerliches Waisenhaus can be experienced in the Klostergärtli. The Klostergärtli offers young people from the work training/time-out program the opportunity to try their hand at service.
